PARAVICINI'S ITALIAN BISTRO REVIEWS
This place is fantastic! The portions are definitely a bang for your buck and it’s so delicious! The chef is creative on some of his original recipes and on top there are classic Italian dishes. The place is kind of small so you must have a reservation if you want to get a table. Due how the place is small, it is a lot louder, but still great place. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for some amazing classic Italian food. Parking: Because you are in OCC, parking is always difficult except here! They have a whole parking lot in the back which is nice comparatively to other places.
Enjoyed our meal here. Service was very good. Food was definitely good, big portions and entrees came with a salad and some good bread as well. Felt like a decent deal with everything together. The only downside is some seats are really, really close together, but luckily the people next to us were cool.
This is an outstanding Italian Restaurant. The bread and salad served with the meal was very good, for the main entree I ordered the Veal Giuseppe, this dish was incredible. The veal was cooked perfectly, as well as the Italian sausage. This dish was served on a bed of Angel Hair pasta, and had a great level of spice and incredible flavor. The service was excellent and the prices were very affordable. I highly recommend this restaurant if you enjoy Italian food.

RED GRAVY REVIEWS
Came to Red gravy last Friday night with my wife to see our friend Sam who bartends in the bar Blue. Our first time coming here and Sam didn't lie about this joint! Chef\Owner greeted us at the front, and actually saw him bringing people to seat in the back bar called Blue, Very customer forward and friendly guy! Seriously authentic and freakin delicious Italian food! Craft cocktails and live music, great atmosphere and all around awesome place, we'll be back often!
Beautiful atmosphere and amazing food. I'm gluten free and it seems like such a little thing, but the waitress saying gluten free as she sat the cheese bread and fettuccine alfredo down is such a comfort. I never would have guessed either one of those things were gluten free because they tasted so so incredible. Can't wait to go back.
I had the linguine tutti mare.or something like that and it was awesome, flavors literally explode in your mouth. We also had the seasonal pumpkin pudding and it was also amazing. We are coming back more often for sure. Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable about the food and he was on top of things. Great suggestions we got from him. Definitely 2 thumbs up to the chef and the staff!

LA BELLA VITA RISTORANTE ITALIANO REVIEWS
I visited La Bella Vita last Friday and it definitely deserves 5 stars! From the friendliness and attentiveness, to the cleanliness and cozy atmosphere, this was by far the best Italian food (authentic even!) I’ve ever had! This place does get busy rather quickly, so reservations are required. We were seated very quickly after arriving for our reservation. Thanks for the great service, will definitely be back.
The staff is top notch, helpful, courteous and attentive. The atmosphere is inviting and the food is the best Italian food I've ever experienced. The Lasagna is unique and delicious...the linguine pescatore not to be missed!
According to their own advertisement, this is the best Italian Restaurant in Colorado. Based on our experience, this might be true. All our dishes were delicious. We were amazed by the portion sizes. Each dish was very flavorful but we couldn't finish it. Very friendly service.
